This class continues an impressive run of recruiting under Head Coach Amanda O’Leary, as the Gators have secured NLIs from four ILWomen Top-40 recruits.

“These 13 young women are a terrific addition to this program, and will be a great representation of the University of Florida,” O’Leary said. “Our signees will make an immediate contribution both in the classroom and on the field. It’s very exciting to see the Gator lacrosse brand spreading across the country.”
